BitRock Releases MonoStack

BitRock MonoStack includes Apache, mod_mono and XSP and plugs in to existing
Mono installations to allow users to quickly deploy ASP.NET on Linux. The
stack is now available for download at www.bitrock.com.

June 5, 2006. BitRock Incorporated announced today the release of BitRock
MonoStack. The easy to install distribution contains Apache, mod_mono and
XSP, and hooks up to existing Mono installations to allow new users to
quickly be up and running with a complete .NET environment on Linux. 

"MonoStack serves as a complement to the existing Mono installer, by
providing the additional software necessary to run ASP.NET on Linux. By
downloading and installing the Mono Runtime from the Mono project website
and MonoStack from BitRock, users can have a complete Mono development
environment in minutes," said Erica Brescia, VP of Business Development for
BitRock. MonoStack is freely available for download and use under the terms
of the Apache License 2.0 from www.bitrock.com. It can be used by both
commercial and open source projects for rapid, consistent deployments in
both development and production environments.

In addition to MonoStack, BitRock offers two versions of LAMPStack, which
contain Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python, and several supporting libraries.
Fully-integrated and packaged with BitRock InstallBuilder, all of the
BitRock Stacks ensure ease of download and installation for the end-user.
The Stacks help to encourage adoption of open source software by making it
easier to use and deploy across a range of environments. 
BitRock Stacks highlight the company's expertise in integrating and
packaging software for easy installation and configuration. In addition to
its standard Stacks, BitRock specializes in building and packaging
customized distributions of open source tools and libraries. Its Custom
Stacks provide a cost-effective way for ISVs and internal IT departments to
ship a complete, integrated package that includes their software and the
third party components that it depends on. The resulting installers present
a streamlined installation process that reduces both support calls and
end-user frustration, helping companies to speed product adoption.

I need new glasses! When I first read this on rss, I thought it said bitROT! Maybe someone needs to think about names a little longer.

Hehe. I keep misreading the other part. (Google. Try about half way down the first page...)

Indeed, their naming definitely leaves something to be desired! I just cannot see that as "monostack". =8^)

Looks like we're on a roll with naming today! A few posts
up the front page, we have "Tux for open sew-ers".
